Chapter 296 Producer (please collect, recommend and vote, please vote monthly)
Whether Zhang Biao can convince Wu Liuyi is still unknown. Xu Chuan, who has already arrived in Shanghai, is looking at his sister with a headache. Only now does he realize that Miss Xu must have added all her skill points to her IQ.
She can easily use her mobile phone to hack into the network of some institutions, just like she is now using the buttons on her mobile phone to control professional equipment in a recording studio.
And her singing voice cannot be said to be bad. After all, the staff in these recording studios have never heard any weird sounds. It’s just that she has never found the rhythm correctly. Either it is fast or slow.
It’s amazing that she’s never gotten it right. This rhythm error doesn’t mean she can’t keep up with the accompaniment, because the vocals and the accompaniment are separated when recording the song. She’s going fast and slow, and not a single sentence is right.
Xu Chuan was shocked. Even if you were fooled, you should be able to fool him a few times. The sound engineer was advising him, "At least Miss Xu's pitch is acceptable."
"How much did you charge?" Xu Chuan wanted to ask him. This recording studio belongs to a comprehensive entertainment group that cooperates with Qisi Group. It mainly produces film and television dramas and is also involved in record distribution. But this With the rise of the Internet in the past two years, the record business has become increasingly difficult to do.
Xu Chuan had talked with the head of the department before and decided to leave the release of the three songs to them. This entertainment group called Dingsheng has relatively professional personnel and equipment, and they are also considered acquaintances. Last time I was there The agent of Rong Xingda whom he met in Wujiang nightclub is a subsidiary of this group.
As for the other party’s thoughts, it was more to maintain the relationship with the Qisi Group, and less about whether he could make money. After all, the resources Qisi controlled were coveted by everyone in the entertainment industry.
So after Zhang Qi contacted them, the company boss happily agreed, and then told the relevant departments that he must make the eldest lady happy.
"If it really doesn't work, then just adjust it. Fortunately, it's three people singing a chorus, so you don't need to adjust it too much." Recording engineers have seen this kind of situation many times. This is still a good thing. It's not impossible to pick out every word.
And the most fearful thing is the kind of person who sings a **** but feels like he has worked very hard. When faced with such a fool, the sound engineer has to coax him to sing a few more times, and finally from Find out what you can use and put them together.
Of course, recording a song is not that simple. In the two days after returning, Xu Chuan specifically communicated with the music producer of Dingsheng. This top domestic producer named Wang Yuanlin absolutely refused at the beginning, and he was that kind of person. He refused no matter how much money he was offered.
Of course he knew the background of Qisi Group, but he just refused to do it. His original words were, I can’t afford to lose this person. If something happens to something that a few rich second-generation people concocted out of nowhere, and their names are written on it, their reputations will be ruined for the rest of their lives.
In the end, the boss of Dingsheng Group came forward, and he reluctantly agreed to talk to Xu Chuan. It was only after he got the lyrics and music that he realized that these three songs seemed interesting.
If you say there are so many classics, it won’t be the same, but at least they are not all good or plagiarized. What Xu Chuan named him as a producer is actually his ability to arrange music. Unfortunately, this ability Xu Chuan temporarily not yet.
Let me explain here, the producer and the arranger can be the same person, but most of the time they are not the same person. The producer is like the director of a song, involved in every aspect of the song, including lyrics, composition, arrangement, band, Guitarist, pianist, drummer, bassist, string orchestra, backing vocals, then recording studio, recording engineer, mixer, he needs to know all these things.
He needs to be familiar with the entire production process, and he also needs to be familiar with the market. Wang Yuanlin is one of the top ones in the field of Chinese music. He also has deep arrangement skills and a good grasp of the style of his works. Uniqueness.
Xu Chuan communicated with him twice, and Wang Yuanlin already grasped the style Xu Chuan wanted.
Today he has roughly made the arrangement of "The Wind Rises".
The melody of this song is Wang Yuanlin's favorite among the three songs. It is simply great. "Mr. Xu, the melody of The Wind Rises seems to have a Japanese style." He was initially worried that this song was copied from someone As a Japanese singer, you must know that the early Chinese music scene borrowed too many works from the Japanese music scene.
So he checked it carefully and finally confirmed that it was indeed an original song.
The corner of Xu Chuan's mouth raised. This guy does have something. This song was originally sung by Yu Takahashi's "ヤキモチ" Jealousy. In his previous life, this song was the ending theme of "Midnight Diner 3". The title of the song Jealousy is a pun, so it must be It's a Japanese style of music.
You know, the expression of one thing in Japanese is completely different from that in Chinese. For example, the Chinese expression for "I love you" has three sounds, while the Japanese expression requires at least five sounds. This means that if there is this word in the song, they need Sing it with a more complex melody.
Of course, this is only one reason why Japanese composition is excellent. More importantly, after World War II, Japan carried out educational reforms and paid more attention to basic education, especially art and physical education. This greatly improved the overall quality of Japan's citizens, especially their artistic literacy.
And more importantly, Japanese pop music has basically followed the development history of European and American pop music, from blues to jazz, funk to electronic music, fusion music, rock music, reggae, rnb, rap, etc., basically everything Music styles have become very popular on the Japanese island.
In this environment, the level of appreciation of the audience is higher, and the level of popular music will naturally not be lower.
As for China, has anyone taken a complete semester of music class during the nine-year compulsory education?
Of course, this is just a choice. When you can't have your cake and eat it too, there is no other way to develop science and engineering first. Otherwise, no matter how high your musical level is, you will just be like a leek.
Okay, let’s get ahead of ourselves. Xu Chuan listened briefly. Although his arrangement ability was limited by his knowledge of music theory, he still understood the basics and pointed out several problems that needed to be revised later.
“Don’t call me Mr. Xu, just call me Xu Chuan or Xiao Chuan.” He respects people with abilities, not to mention Wang Yuanlin is over fifty.
"Okay, I will ask you to call you Xiaochuan." Wang Yuanlin found that this rich second generation was different from what he thought. As for the lyrics and music of these three songs, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are talented. Have you ever thought about pursuing a career in the music industry? I listened to the demo you recorded and your singing skills are also pretty good.”
Wang Yuanlin felt that if this person could be trained, he might become another superstar in the Chinese music scene. It is really rare to be able to create as well as sing.
Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched. How could he not have that kind of time?
